FORMER PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES PASSES THURSDAY FORMER PRESIDENT OF U. S. PASSES ITT NORTHAMPTON. Ex-Leader Succumbs Heart Disease After Returning From Office; Wife Finds Body. Latest news reports received to day tell of the death of Calvin Cool- dge, former president of the United States, who was found dead at his lome at noon today, by his wife. Death was said to have been due to heart disease. His body was dis- overed by Mrs. Coolidge when she returned from a shopping tour. Mr colidge V as believed to have been lead 15 minutes when found. Further account taken from the Cast Oregonian stated that Mr. Coolidge went to his office this morn ng but returned home about 10:0C o’clock, accompanied l y his secre tary. Mr. Coolidge had complained of indigestion during the past two oi hree weeks but had not consulted a hysician the past month. Harry Ross, secretary said there was nothing today to indicate the former president felt indisposed. They sat talking for some time, he said, then Mr. Coolidge went up stairs. Ross waited for Mr. Coolidge to come down and dismiss his for luncheon as was his custom. He was still waiting when Mrs. Coolidge came home from a shopping tour. Was 60 Years Old. Mr. Coolidge would have been 61 years old next July 4. The former president, who up to the time of his death was the only surviving ex-president of the United States, had gone to his law office as usual this morning. Quiet Life. The former president had been leading a quiet life since his return to Northhampton after his successor In the presidency, Herbert Hoover, was inaugurated on March 4, 1929. His day to day program varied little, and it had not changed great ly despite the slight indisposition of the last three weeks. Ordinarily he spent a part of the day at his law office with occasiona' writing upon the magazine articles which he had contributed from time to time to various publications.

Because there has been so much talk about beer lately, Harry Con ner belives that "Happy New Year’ greeting, sounds like "Have you any beer.” He comes back over the coun- ter with a "Not yet," answer. The report comes to us that 1,- 000, 000 people were put back to work this week. After studying the question we remembered that school opened this week. The year ”1932” Is always carried over Into "1933" at least for three months after it arrives. Printed forms might remedy this handicap. The committee working or the program for the special banquet to be held In the Hermiston Hotel next Thursday, inform us that the meet ing will bo open to husbands and their wives. We maintain that there are those of us who are enjoying "Single blessed neos" who would like to be present at the banquet. Such • abort notice is not quite adequate.
